Jazzy's ER visit.....


Jazzy has had a temp of 104 since last Thursday. She received every treatment I could think of.... including Tylenol and Ibuprofen which only had a very temporary effect. Her lungs were clear, but she has/had an extremely sore throat. When she became so lethargic yesterday that she couldn't even open her eyes.... I took her to the ER for a second opinion. Just as I thought, they said she was fine and just had a very severe sore throat which was causing the fever, but I wanted someone else to listen to her lungs. Then.... I thought of an old naturopathic treatment. Within an hour the fever was completely gone and has been normal for 24 hours. She is back to her bouncy ballerina self. She lost 3 # -- which was alot for her, but now she is back to eating again. Here she is today having her snack. All of this stemmed from the birthday cake, candy, ...etc, etc.. which she is not used to. Her immune and lymphatic system became overwhelmed and the fever is a normal response. I wonder what my ER bill is going to be:) just to get a "second opinion".

Jazzy is all signed up for her fall classes. Gymnastics on Monday AM and Saturdays, Singing and Art on Tuesday AM, Swimming in Chandler on Saturdays, her favorite ballet and tap on Thursdays.....
